This study focuses on evaluating the cost-effectiveness of manufacturing plants systems in Tanzanian industries through a replication of multilevel regression analysis. The methodology involves re-analysing data from a dataset comprising multiple levels of analysis including factory-level costs, employee productivity metrics, and industry-specific variables. A multilevel logistic regression model is employed to assess cost-effectiveness parameters with explicit standard errors provided. In the replication study, it was found that the inclusion of contextual variables at the second level significantly improved the accuracy of predicting cost savings, demonstrating a positive effect ratio of up to 20% in some sectors when compared to baseline models without these factors. The multilevel regression model successfully replicated and refined previous findings on the economic benefits of technology adoption in Tanzanian manufacturing environments, offering insights into more precise policy recommendations for cost reduction strategies. Based on this replication study, policymakers should prioritise incorporating industry-specific variables to enhance the predictive power of cost-effectiveness models in Tanzania's manufacturing sector. Model estimation used =argmin_ᵢ (yᵢ, f_ (xᵢ) ) +₂², with performance evaluated using out-of-sample error.
